38 Planes

On final approach, we're coming in runway two two, and I think

Where am I gonna park this thing?

There are planes lined up like sardines

And as far as I can see, there's cars lined up, too

It looks like everybody in Newfoundland is here

(One plane, then another, and then another, and then another)

Is this on? Sorry, I'm new

(And then thirteen planes)

This is Roger's TV Channel 9

My name's Janice Mosher and I'm reporting live from Gander Airport

(And then nineteen planes)

Where the nineteenth plane has just touched down

I'm here with

Bonnie Harris

On a normal day we get a half dozen of flights

(And then twenty-six planes)

Now, we already got three times that many landing in two hours

That's a lot of noise

You can smell the fuel

(And then twenty-nine planes) You can smell the exhaust

Jesus, that's a jumbo

There's gotta be two-fifty or three-hundred on her

(And then thirty-two planes)

That's a fairly large one, there's gotta be two-hundred on her

And now I'm adding this up

We got thirty eight planes

We got two, three-hundred people on the average

(Thirty-eight planes)

Holy shit
